It is fantastic to be in school at last and to meet the students face to face. This week we had a brief introduction to each subject, which included a general overview of the key and related concepts as well as the assessment criteria. We then started the unit of inquiry.
In English language and Literature we will be studying about advertising: What are the different types of advertising? What makes and effective advertisement? What are the ethics of advertising?
In Individuals and Societies we have begun a Geography unit: Natural Hazards. We have defined the meaning of the term natural hazard, and identified several different types of natural hazard. We will be investigating why these hazards occur, what the consequences are and how people have tried to deal with the hazard.
I am looking forward to learning with the students throughout these two units.
